Unbeaten SL meet Bangladesh today

COLOMBO: Unbeaten Sri Lanka meet minnow Bangladesh in an Asia Cup second round cricket match on Friday (today), but the hosts are expected to be at their best to strengthen their claim for a berth in the final.

Marvan Atapattu’s men have so far been ahead in the tournament. They defeated defending champions Pakistan by a formidable seven wickets in the second round match on Wednesday, after tasting success against the United Arab Emirates and tournament favourites India in the preliminary round.

However, a win against Bangladesh with bonus points would almost ensure them a place in the final match on Aug.1.

Bangladesh: (from) Habibul Bashar (captain), Khaled Mashud, Rajin Saleh, Javed Omar, Mohammad Ashraful, Alok Kapali, Mushfiqur Rahman, Khaled Mahmud, Mohammad Rafique, Manjurul Islam Rana, Tapash Baisya, Tareq Aziz Khan, Abdur Razzak and Faisal Hossain.

Sri Lanka: Marvan Atapattu (captain), Mahela Jayawardene, Sanath Jayasuriya, Saman Jayantha, Kumar Sangakkara, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Thilina Kandamby, Upul Chandana, Chaminda Vaas, Nuwan Zoysa, Muttiah Muralitharan, Avishka Gunawardane, Lasith Malinga and Farveez Maharoof.
